Medical Lake softball continues to hit well in streak

Medical Lake softball came away with a pair of wins in the games that really counted last week.

The Cardinals collected a pair of Northeast A League wins, 10-4 over Freeman on April 11 and 16-1 over Riverside, April 15. In between was 9-8 loss to West Plains' rival, Cheney, in a nonleague contest played April 14.
